There absolutely is a time limit in submitting recipes in to me: This Sunday. If no recipe is submitted to me by a contestant by this Sunday, then I will assume a zero score, which naturally leads to them not going through to the final. You've got to be stern with time limits, I've given them plenty of time and no-one has said that they couldn't cope with a week, so Sunday it is.

Naturally, if you have a VERY GOOD reason for missing Sunday, then I might give you an extra day or two, but only if you have a good reason for that. I don't want to be giving freebie days for nothing you know.

I'll send every contestant who hasn't submitted a recipe by Friday a warning that time is running very short and they should do their recipe soon!
